At what income level should you pay taxes?

What is "the Mona Lisa" and why can't you make another?

 

because the man who painted it is a part of it, and that man is dead. even if he were alive to paint another one, it would be a separate piece. does that answer your questions?

 

Really? He's a part of it? Could we clone Da Vinci based on the DNA that's left behind?

You don't care which line worker makes your differential gears, so why do you care who makes your art? Isn't it the art that makes the artist great, not thew other way around?

Though I imagine if Leonardo looked like this, then I might care:

What difference would it make?

 

it doens't matter why people care. all that matters is that they do care.

 

It does matter if you want to create art.

Why does it?

 

You asked why you couldn't make another one, you could make another one, but people wouldnt value it the same. Does that answer your questions?

 

A sales tax on non-american goods would also be a good route to becoming self sufficient. It is important to be self sufficient incase we ever face another world war.

 

LMAO

Man, I guarantee you if America found itself cut off and at war on that level you'd see the largest industrial boom in American history, at least until the ICBM's flew.
